Flourishes Friday Focus - Copic Collections

Welcome back to another Flourishes Friday--today we're focusing on Flourishes' Copic collections. 

For my card, I chose to work with Seeds Of Friendship and Sunflowers. First, I stamped the seed packet image on light green card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then I cut it out and cut out the large blank section inside. Then I stamped the SEEDS image and the 25¢ image.


I wanted the center section cut out to serve as a frame for my sunflower image. It was stamped on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers. For the sunflower center I used the Flesh Tones #2 Collection. For the flower petals I used the Sunflower Collection and for the leaves I used the Evergreen Collection. After I had my sunflower colored, I trimmed it to fit the seed packet and popped the seed packet up on foam strips to give it some dimension. Then I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with my Grand Calibur and a Spellbinder's Nested Lacey Pennant die. Finally I tied a hand tea dyed yellow gingham bow around. My patterned paper is from Basic Grey's Origins collection.
